AI-suggested
1. Immediately restrict local user permissions on systems running Splashtop Streamer to prevent unauthorized access to installation temporary directories. 2. Monitor and audit temporary folders used during MSI installations for unauthorized file modifications, particularly focusing on InstRegExp.reg. 3. Apply the vendor’s patch or update to Splashtop Streamer version 3.6.2.0 or later as soon as it becomes available. 4. If patching is not immediately possible, consider deploying application whitelisting or endpoint protection solutions that can detect or block unauthorized file replacements during installation. 5. Educate system administrators and users about the risks of local privilege escalation and enforce the principle of least privilege to minimize the number of users with local access. 6. Use Group Policy or other configuration management tools to harden permissions on temporary directories and restrict write access to trusted accounts only. 7. Regularly review and update endpoint security policies to detect anomalous behavior indicative of privilege escalation attempts. 8. In environments with high security requirements, consider isolating or limiting the use of Splashtop Streamer until the vulnerability is remediated.
Description
The MSI installer for Splashtop Streamer for Windows before 3.6.2.0 uses a temporary folder with weak permissions during installation. A local user can exploit this to escalate privileges to SYSTEM by replacing InstRegExp.reg.
